According to "League Sources," as the Chiefs continue to interview, they await Pioli's decision.

Kudos to Kansas City chairman Clark Hunt, who has conducted one of the quietest general manager searches the NFL has seen.

In recent days, the Chiefs have interviewed at least a half-dozen general manager candidates, according to multiple league sources, yet only a handful of the names actually have surfaced.

Candidates interviewed include New England’s vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli, San Diego’s director of player personnel, former Denver general manager Ted Sundquist, former Titans general manager Floyd Reese and former Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer.

League sources insist that the Chiefs are waiting on Pioli, that he is their No. 1 candidate for the job. If the two sides cannot agree on a contract, then Kansas City will be prepared to move on. But apparently it still is in talks with Pioli, though no decision is imminent.
